Aren't all back and forward buttons in the same spot in every browser?

I think he's talking about the awkward positioning of the back button so the bottom is cutuff. I know they are trying to do the metro UI stile back button but it just looks totally wrong, because no other parts of the app is metro style in the slightest. It just gives the impression the developer messed up and put the button too low rather than giving it a style.

After a day of using IE9, View Downloads download manager does not open anymore. Completed downloads cannot RUN nor can be Viewed on that download manager box at the bottom as well. I also cannot send feedback even though I have Live ID sign-in Assistant.

I wish I could send my feedback on these two issues.

This happened to me. Clear your download history.

how come my ie9 doesn't display properly?

I had the same problem, it has to do with putting the file menu up top in IE7 / IE8. Open up regedit.exe, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser, set the ITBar7Position value to 0. That should fix it.

I'm not a big fan of the new interface. There's simply not enough space for how many tabs I typically have open at once.

Am I the only one finding it weird Microsoft brought back the Longhorn style of back/forward buttons?

I doubt the UI is anywhere near done, they just wanted to show off their pinning feature. Wouldn't surprise me at all if beta 2 doesn't match beta 1 much.

the download manager is still very incomplete as well

plus whats up with not showing download speed?blink.gif

This was brought up already, and a reply to it was that you just hover your mouse over the % done info fo ryou download and it'll show the speed then.

The best thing to do is to have a basic and advanced version with more info, how the windows explorer file transfer window is for example. I'd also like the ability to not use the download manager when I don't want to, like for small files, like maybe holding shift and clicking on a file won't use it.

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      By cyberhash · Posted

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
